President Noynoy Aquino is just one big conspiracy theorist

December 15, 2011 Iya-J 138 Comments

In recent days, President Benigno Aquino has indulged himself in a continuous lambasting of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona. In his speech at the National Criminal Justice Summit, he practically insulted the Supreme Court Chief Justice for the whole country to see. Now this is what I call power-tripping. He endlessly stated that Corona…

Hypocrisy at a national scale: The bid to impeach Philippine Chief Justice Renato Corona

December 13, 2011 benign0 68 Comments

Last week, in one of my very rare fits of writer’s block, I said to myself, “Not to worry. The next Philippine political circus is just around the corner.” I kinda admit, it gets boring when I’m always right. Filipinos have so far proven that they are great at using the awesome power of democracy…
